BBC films dozens of settlers attacking Palestinian community in West Bank BBC News

BBC News has witnessed an attack by dozens of Israeli settlers on Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank. The settlers in the illegal outpost of Or Nahman attacked local Palestinian farmers, setting fire to vehicles and destroying their property.

The violence comes as the Israeli government plans to sign off the building of thousands of new homes elsewhere in the territory. That plan, which is illegal under international law, would “bury the idea of a Palestinian state” according to one far-right minister in the Israeli government.

Israeli settlers have been expanding their illegal seizures of Palestinian land since the start of the war in Gaza. Israel says that it does not support the creation of unauthorised new settlements. However many Palestinians accuse Israel’s government of complicity in the attacks and land seizures.

A BBC team was in the West Bank near the illegal outpost settlement of Or Nahman when Palestinian communities came under attack.

Enough! Why are these Israeli people still encroaching on neighborhoods that are already settled by human beings?

I saw that hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens were in the streets yesterday to protest this mad criminal assault n Palestine. It’s clear that Netanyahu is unrestrained and doesn’t care that the international community wants Peace For The MidEast. If he goes forward with plans to forcible push human beings out of their meager tents to ….where ? Sudan?

👉🏽 Please Israeli citizens only you can stop this war criminal. Take over your government and arrest Netanyahu and all military and political leaders who have planned this genocide.

US must stop all trade and monetary assistance to Israel. US people are complicit by funding these atrocities .
I continue to write to my Dem Senators who continue to support the unrelenting suffering. This is Madness!

➡️Note: I am not antisemitic and I have always supported Israel’s right to exist. I wish peace for all people in the MidEast.
I respect all faiths and spiritual traditions.

This is not bashing Dems. I continue to support and vote for Dems. We just need to press them to stand up against brutality and children starving.
